Mindset Monday: Curiosity Mindset
Ever notice how some people ask “Why?” and others just accept the world the way it is? Having a Curiosity Mindset means always asking insightful questions and not taking things at face value. You could argue that curiosity is responsible for all scientific and technological breakthroughs because it’s rooted in the desire to seek the truth and explore the unknown.

From me:
“An expert can tell you exactly how it can't be done. They are massively disincentivized to promote someone else’s radical & disruptive solution because if it results in a wholesale change in their field, they are no longer the expert — they are now a has-been.”

From the world:
“Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.”
- Steve Jobs (Founder, Apple) [Tweet]
Data-Driven Optimism:
Last Thursday, NASA’s Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID) hitched a ride to space along with the Joint Polar Satellite System-2. Upon descent, the aeroshell survived the steep dive from low-Earth orbit. This marks the foundation of landing technology that could put humans on Mars. [Tweet]
